Buhay Bio

BS Bio students should be able to remember a lot of stuff in order to get through life. Processes, cycles, chemical formula, equations, solutions, scientific names, and tons of facts make up most of our every growing vocabulary. Let me use this skill or innate human function to remember the best memories in my biology courses.

Bio 11
- First bio subject which I only got during second year, unlike the new curriculum which offers the course for freshmen

Paper paper

I thought a lot about you during my senior and last year as an undergraduate. In the beginning, there were too much things going on in school. There was the biggest one that I failed, and another that I wished I hadn't drop. These choices weren't easy to go by, and along the way, I had to deal with a lot of things.

I had to take a break from things and began thinking of you this June. The fear of not being accepted was evident, as conditions, which were great obstacles, made us all hesitant to push through with the task. I kept on looking at pictures that could have been more significant in the end.

This month, I had nothing and no one else in mind. Such magic filled me up the first time I saw you, but then again that joy was probably only mine. I'll wait for the next time I can come back to you.

My bound thesis manuscript along with the three letter-sized copies (made by mistake). 

Ang ID

Pwedeng identifier, identity document or identification card.

Simple lang ang gusto gawin, ipakilala ang taong nagmamay-ari nito, kadalasan yung taong humahawak. Ibinibigay ng mga institusyon para sa kanilang mga kasapi. Para sa mag-aaral, ito ang tiket mo para sa maginhawang buhay.

Nasanay na ako sa Ateneo na laging nakasuot ang ID nang maayos, yung nakikita, naka-laso, hindi natatakpan ng mga pin at sticker (na usong mga palamuti sa buong ID). Sa tuwing mahuli ka ng tauhan ng APSA, o kahit mga guro sa daan, tiyak poste ang aabutin mo. Hindi masaya ang tumayo sa harap ng APSA na kung saan dinadaan-daanan ka ng mga tao. Badtrip kapag natiyempuhan ka. Minsan nakahihiya, pero siguro kaya naman saluhin ng kahit na sinong Atenista ang parusa.

Kaya naging madali sa akin na dalhin at suotin ang ID ko pagdating ko sa UP. Hindi ganoon katindi ang patakaran at ang pagsasabatas ng "Wear Your ID". Bakit kaya? Dalawa ang naiisip ko, pinaiiral ng mga taga-UP ang kanilang "kalayaan" o tamad-combo-with-pasaway. Yun lang naman kasi. 

Kung tutuusin, hindi mahirap magsuot ng ID. Ito siguro ang mga ibang rason na pwede na tanggapin o may katwiran.

1. Wala.

Naiisip ko, kayang kaya ng taga-UP na itabi ang ID sa anumang bagay na lagi nyang dinadala sa UP. Underwear o cellphone.

Hindi bagay sa damit? Pangit sa pakiramdam? Namamaho yung strap o lanyard? Kasama sa buhay yan, at muli kayang gawan ng paraan. Hanapan mo ng katerno, pumili ka ng 100% cotton o yung yari sa plastic.

Naiinis ako sa mga taong hindi sumusuot ng ID lalo na't andaming nakapaskil na paalala. Ito ang sa AS, dalawang karatula sa isang pasukan.

 Maririnig mo pa yung mga reklamo ng mga estudyante habang kaharap yung guard. Ang bantay na sumusunod lang sa patakaran, pero hindi din pwede idahilan na hindi naman tinitignan ng mabuti ang ID. Minsan kahit anong ID idaan mo sa mata ng guard, o lusutan mo habang hindi nakatingin. Sapat bang tawaging mandaraya o kriminal ang hindi sumusunod sa napakasimpleng hiling. Maraming pwedeng pag-usapan tungkol sa patakaran na ito, at hindi ako dadako roon.

Ang huling laman ng ID ko. 2nd ID na sira, PNB Insurance,
2nd Sem AY1213 and 1st Sem AY1314 schedule.

Bahagi ang ID ng kasuotan ng isang estudyante, lalo na sa UP. Maari kang maging kampante na kapwa mag-aaral o mga tauhan ng pamantasan ang siyang kasama mo sa mga gusali.

Sa huling sem ko sa UP, may dahilan kung bakit hinding-hindi ko nalimutan ang ID ko.

Strike ahead

Waiting for two more grades (PI 100 and PE 2)

Lessons, lessons. Find time, don't waste time.

Unfortunately, naranasan ko lahat ng marks na pwede matanggap ng isang taga-UP. Nakuha ko yung mga malala.

Masaklap makita ito sa CRS page, pero masasabi kong handa at hindi ako nabigla na makuha ang mga ito.

Kaya masaya ako na nakabawi ako sa sumunod na sems.

Sa huling mga araw

Ito ang bahagyang pagbalik-tanaw sa mga natutunan ko sa huling yugto ng aking pag-aaral sa UP, bilang isang mag-aaral ng Biology.

Unahin natin ang mas masaya

PE 2 LTD - Latin Ballroom Dance

Madami na rin akong nasabihan na nagustuhan ko ang PE na ito, sa simula at sa pagtatapos. Isang biyaya ng CRS ang pagbigay sa akin ng 2 PE sa huling sem ko. Nahirap ako isipin na matatapos ko, at masisiyahan. Ballroom dance? Na may kembot, o kung anu-anong mga kilos na hindi nababagay sa matigas na anyo ng aking katawan. Hindi madaliang masasalin ang pagiging likas sa mga palakasan sa pagsasayaw, may lamang pero hindi ito panigurado.

Nagtagumpay ako na masayaw na bigay-bigay ang Samba, Cha-cha-cha, Rumba, Jive at Pasa Doble. Jive yung pinakagusto ko, sakto ito pa yung sinaliksik ng grupo ko. Masaya rin sa pakiramdam na makausap at makihalubilo sa mga kapwa taga-UP, freshman o kagaya ko na senior at graduating. Madaming magaling, may kasing galing ko, at may mga natutulungan din naman ako kahit papaano.

Huwag matakot gumalaw, at maging masigla sa pagkilos. Mainam rin na ilabas ang malikhaing mga galaw na mula sa TV o gawa-gawa.

PE 2 WR - Wrestling

Ibang klase! Sobrang natuwa ako kahit na payak at basic yung galaw na tinuro sa amin.

Uso dito ang magpakakumbaba. Hindi lahat ng magagaling sa una ay nagpapatuloy na nagwawagi sa huli. Masayang pagmasdan na gumagaling yung iba mong kamag-aral kasabay mo, at ito ang nagbibigay ng bawat anyo kada pagkikita.

Huwag ipilit kung ayaw! Kapag alam na yung the moves mo, siguradong may panabla yung kalaban mo, at kung hindi gumagana ang mga mahirap na teknik, bumalik ka sa basik. Pinakapaborito kong gawin ang Half-Nelson, at mas mahusay ako sa stand-up (kaysa sa ground games).

Hindi ito pro-wrestling. Hindi rin lagi nagwawagi ang malakas. Utak, diskarte, tamang kain at tulog at tiwala sa sarili ang kailangan para maka-pin ka!

My favorite professional wrestler, maybe next to the Rock or Stone Cold

PI 100 - Rizal 100 +1

Buhay ng mga bayani at nagkukunwaring bayani. Sina Rizal, Bonifacio, yung iba pag Rizal, si Aguinaldo, Mabini, ang mga Amerikano at dakilang Espanyol. Mga nobela at tauhan, si Elias, Maria Clara, Kapitan Panchong, Bernardo Carpio, ang hindi mabilang na babae ni Rizal at si Rizal ulit.

Nagsimula ang asignatura sa mas malalim na talakayan sa kasaysayan, panahong midyibal na takipsilim hanggang sa Rebolusyon ng 1896. Umabot din naman nang bahagya sa pananakop ng mga Amerikano.

Nalungkot ako. Kung tutuusin naikahon ko ang mga Pilipino noong panahon na may mga mananakop. Mula illustrado, indio, Katipunero at ibang mga mamayanan, hindi ko akalain na magagaw ito ng mga kalahi o ninuno ko (anupaman ang matuklasang relasyon). Maraming mga taga-Caviteng nagpaikot-ikot sa masa, mga pinunong pinagkatiwalaan habang walang nagaganap na paglaya. Mga nangibang bansa, mga pinadala sa ibang bansa na walang ginawa maliban sa pagsusugal at pagiging dakilang kahihiyan --- tamad.

Mas namangha ako kina Rizal at Bonifacio. Astig. Gaano kadalas na may mabalitaan kang kasing husay nila? May dumating na bang katulad nila sa galing at ambag sa lipunan? Sigurado, hindi pa ako masasama sa hanay nila. Sobrang lakas ng hatak na mahalin ang bayan, sa anumang paraan na sa makabagong panahon ay siguradong lagpas sa pluma at bolo.

Nahirapan man ako sa mga pagsusulit, naging makabuluhan ang mga talakayan sa klase, at lalabas talaga ang utak ng taga-UP. Kritikal, may pananalig na batay sa katotohanan at kutob. Malakas ang dating. Biyaya na naging mag-aaral ako ng gurong iyon.

the women of Malolos. Rizal wrote a letter to them. It contained praises and a lot of guides and reminders.

susunod o patuloy ay ang mga Bio subjects. pagod na ako at medyo mahaba na rin itong entry 

Worried at midnight, Manila twilight

The morning arrives at the next minute, but you notice it's approach hours after.

I worry about getting lost. I thought that I already convinced myself of continuing to Medicine. I wonder so much on this development that doesn't seem to end. Although, I probably told myself that a career in research wouldn't be that bad.

For now, I'm not that bothered about losing my interest in med, but I am not aware of the influences I may give into when it comes to the next semester. It will come to a point that I might decide, that may leave the other choice behind or hanging. A hanging career doesn't look good, and it might lead to switches! 

More questions. These open up time for you because committing definitely shuts down the clock.

How decisive can you be? Up to what level, time or stage in your life can you be firm with choices nearby, at the corner or there at your blind spot. 

The common tune is to be happy or find happiness. 

Time shifts. Sunrise a second earlier, and sunset's a minute late. Flip the coin for dusk and dawn. Find the balance and seek the twilight.

Why 07 October Was a Good Day

In bullets

• had a good night's sleep
• had pancakes for breakfast
• had a good jeepney ride
• had caramel sundae
• was able to help some PUP students
• initially I was thinking of getting of at Faculty Center, go to CS lib and proceed with the rest of my plan, then:


• the person beside me asked if I knew where the Institute of Biology was. i replied with "doon pa". with such a vague answer I think i was obliged to either tell where exactly (assuming that i stuck to my plan) or i'd change my route just to guide them personally
• i decided to go ahead and show them where IB was
• i asked the girl who asked me (there was another one wearing a PUP PE pants), anong year niyo na. she replied: "2nd year na po". prior to that they said they needed to use a microtome. i had no follow-up questions, then a question hit my mind. were they college students or just high school students taking up biology-science classes. probably highschool students ( it's difficult to recognize a female 2nd year student nowadays)
• a professor that doesn't usually initiates conversation, tried to get my attention and talked to me
• bought and ate sour tape
• saw a person and almost had an awkward encounter, didn't know if i should have smiled or said hi
• saw a strange bird and strange larva across MSI
• had a good time staying at the CSLib watching Pacific Rim
• had a good talk with a batchmate
• got a good score in my exam
• when i was calculating for my probable grade before i got the results, i guessed the number 70.
• tada! i got 70 for that exam. i wish I used a higher number when i tried to estimate my grades
• rode an ikot jeep that drove me all the way to central. he was probably going to a gas station
• dropped by a coffee shop. bought a new drink and was able to buy a cheesecake cookie
• won a great game using Tempest 7/0/high assists. awesome sets for my ulti
• watched a nice film, The East
• ate a good barbecue "meal" for dinner
• watched this again http://samuel-warde.com/2013/09/craziest-footage-youll-see-captured-security-cameras-video/

[rePubliched] never let go of the radio

[ mula sa multiplx]

nakatutuwa.

Nung bata ako, naalala ko na madalas magpatugtog yung kasambahay namin ng mga Michael Learns to Rock na kanta. May cassette tape siya na lagi niyang pinapaandar habang naglalaba siya. Sa bahay naman ng lola ko, puro balita ang binubuga ng radyo dun. Hindi pa ako marunong maghanap ng radio station nun, kaya lagi ako nababagot sa mga tugtuging oldies. 

Bandang ikaanim na antas sa mababang paaralan, rinegaluhan ako ng radyo na may CD player. Simula ng araw ng yun, bawat gabi hindi ako makakatulog hanggat walang maririnig mula sa Campus Radio o sa mga awit tulad ng Officially Missing You or ng Southborder. 

Pagdating ko sa mataas na paaralan, hindi ko naiwasan na ipagpatuloy ang pagtangkilik sa radyo. Laganap na ng panahong iyon ang iPod, at bawat kamag-aral ko ay may nakasaksak sa kanilang mga bahaging-pandinig. Isa sa mga pinaka 'di ko makalilimutang mga panahon ay ang araw-araw na Kwatro Kantos sa Love Radio, na isponsor ng aking school bus driver. Hindi nagtatapos ang laban sa paulit-ulit ng kanta na makikinig sa Love Radio. Kasama ng pag-uwi ko sa bahay, ayan na naman ang LR. Matitiyempuhan mo talaga na bandang 4:20 pm, ipatutugtog ang kandang Bitiw ng Spongecola. Susunod ay Noypi ng Bamboo. Putangina lang nila Chris Tsuper, Papa Jack, Misi Hista (?), at Nicole Hyala, pero salamat sa pagbibigay kulay sa loob ng school bus. Idagdag na rin ang kantang Saging Lang Ang May Puso at Gikumot-kumot. Grabe.

Sa bahay naman, Mellow 94.7 ang laging nakaayos sa radyo. Ikinalungkot ko na pinalitan ang Campus Radio 97.1 ng walang kwentang Baranggay LS. Pucha. The Top 20 @ 12! Habang nakikinig sa Chris and Chloe Music Factory, nanalo ako ng Premiere Tickets sa palabas na The Kingdom, starring Jamie Foxx \m/ , pero dahil may pasok ako at malayo ang Makati, sinabi ko na ibigay nalang sa iba. Gusto ko rin sumali sa bahagi ng palabas nila na Desert Island Disc, pero wala naman ako maisip na 5 kanta na babagay sa playlist ko habang ako'y nawawala sa isang isla.

Isang umaga, sa bagong school bus (parehong driver), napakinggan ko ang sikat na DJ Mo Twister sa Magic 89.9. Tawang-tawa ako kung paano mag-usap ang tatlo sa radyo. Dito ko rin napansin na yung Mo Twister na madalas nakapapanayam ng mga tao sa Startalk at ang DJ ay iisa lang.

Kapag umaga, 89.9, tuwing gabi Mellow naman. Isang gabi na nabagot ako sa C&C, lumipat ako sa 89.9, and lo and behold! Boys Night Out! Sobrang sulit ang mga gabing umuuwi ako galing Ateneo at UP dahil sa kanila. Yeahhhhhhmen! 

Magic 89.9 Today's Best Music, indeed.

Dinala ko lagi ang radyo ko. Maaring nasa anyong silepono or simpleng radyo lang na nakatambay bilang misplaced article sa Barracks. Kapag bibigyan ako ng bagong CP, unang tanong: May radyo ba?

Sa mga station na di ko pa nababangit kasama sa mga napakinggan ko ay

- 89.1 Wave - Para sa mga chill lang na kanta

- 98.7         -  Para sa mga tugtuging 'Classical'

- 96.3 WROCK at 97.9 HomeRadio - Para sa mga panahon na gusto ko maiba ang marinig

- 105.7 - Para sa mga awiting may genre na Jazz

- 101.1, 101.9, 102.7 - Para sa aking alala habang bata pa ako

 Kahit ano pang 'tuning' ang gawin sa buhay ko, hindi mawawala sa puso ko ang radyo. Sa bawat pag-usbong ng teknolihiya, hindi madaling ma-eject ang pirasong nagbibigay aliw sa akin.

That's it, we're done, we hope you had some fun. Join us next time on, the Campus Radio... flyer

Happy Times Double_back

(was supposed to post this last year, probably the same time)

What I learned from some of my advisers, moderators and teachers.

and some memories.

AAM
T. Lourdes (Adviser - Sibika) - it's important to be competitive, against yourself and others. Support from your moderator is really great as it motivates you to beat the other class! At that time, I had a rival in the other class. We always were on a 1-2 streak; him being top of the batch.

T. Amy (Prep Adviser - Grade 1 Science) - discipline is best inculcated at a young age. I always cut my nails after a year with her!

S. Martin (G6 Adviser - Science) - courting is preparation for marriage. How to use a microscope properly! He probably also inspired me to be a biologist (one of the people). One of the teachers who I considered a good friend!

T. Kristina (Grade 6 - English) - earn you grades, the value of knowledge over grades. The scenario was: "You automatically get 90 on your card, or you go to class and get whatever mark."

A salute to all the teachers in the Philippines! A snappier salute for those who became part of my life!

A salute to all the teachers in the Philippines. A snappier salute to those who were part of my life!

AHS
Mr. Capinding ( 1st Year Moderator - Filipino) - give it your all, "lundagin mo beybe!". My first moderator during my stay in Ateneo.

Mr. Dizon (2nd Year Moderator - Math) - always reward yourself "bumili ka ng sundae". The time where i loved numbers, the grades loved me as well!

Mr. Santos (3rd Year Moderator - Araling Panlipunan) - don't do the unecessary "ano connect nun?". May ginawa ako na hindi ko mabigyan ng rason, at siguro hindi ko na rin pinandigan.

Mrs. Sacluti (4th Year Moderator - Math) - be responsible and be ready to face any consequence "magkaroon kayo ng bayag!"

Mr. Villena (3rd Year Filipino) - learn to accept criticism,"GAGO ka pala e"

Mr. Nolasco (4th Science - Physics) - be prepared or "get-out"

Ms. De Mesa (2nd Year Science - Biology) - My best inspiration to becoming a biologist (no relation yet to Medicine), and the first subject where i got an A!

Mr. Falgui (1st Year English) - don't lose hope. First year high school, i got the only failing mark in high school, a D (69 and below) in English. Kaya siguro hindi solid yung syntax-grammar ko, pati din naman pala sa Tagalog. Nakabawi naman ako sa sumunod na trimester, C+. 


Mr. Pavia (3rd Year Christian Living Ed) - everything morally right about me, and to read the book at least four times!

UP

Mr. Agpawan (Philo- Logic) - examine the logic and make sure that you know your choices!

Mrs. Jacinto (Animal Dev Bio) - learn to articulate your thoughts, study well, think critically! Hands down, the best teacher or the best one in the Institute of Biology. I loved the course (meaning the subject), and it was the only one that I studied my arse off!

Mrs. Apilado (Kasaysayan) - be a good student, and do not sleep in class!

Mrs. Cao (Cell Bio) - if you have to sleep in class, be sure that you know the lesson and you could answer questions in class. I was sleeping in one of her classes, then i heard this while I was freely sleeping at the back of the room: "Mr Macrohon, do you know/have an answer to the question?" Me: "No, ma'am". After a while, she asked another question and I threw the correct answer like a boss :)

Ms. Gonzales (Biology Fundamentals and Ecology) - always have an answer and know what you are doing!

Mr. Yago (General Chem) - something about credibility and responsibility of students

Mr. Garcia (Geography) - the concept of personal space and places of despair

Mr. Solis (Physics Lab) - naghihintay ang NAGMAMAHAL!

Mr. Garcia (Animal Physiology) - another good lecturer, the best in Bio too. He had this way of teaching concepts and the pace and voice was just right..pero minsan natutulog ako. This was the time that I wished that he taught other subjects.

Mr. Hernandez, Mr, Suiza, Mr. Tan-Tian (Engineering Science) - madami pero halos naging part-time manners class yung ES 10. Valuing yourself, spirit of Christmas, concept of gifts, character building stories and tips, etc.


Actually marami pang guro at mga tinuro sakin (bukod siyempre sa panahon sa academic classes at moderator's time). I wasn't able to place all, but surely I learned something from every subject i took! Hehe. Sana walang magtampo.
